alice thinking so you don't have to*

alice schwarzer hat mal wieder wunderbar eigenständige und somit überraschende gedanken zu frauen und ihr umgang mit geld (on the big scale, but also how this is affected by the small scale). krude zusammengefasst: gelegenheit macht diebe und frauen hatten (und haben) einfach weniger gelegenheiten. teil 1, 2, 3, 4
(der moderator ist so selbstverliebt, daß er gar nicht mehr fähig ist zu zuhören, die andere tante ist leider zu gefällig und die user kommentare mal wieder unerträglich)

"Finally, in 2005, Mr. Song proposed that they turn the accumulated junk into an art project. In this way, he argued, nothing would be discarded and lost; everything would be meaningfully recycled and preserved. His mother agreed to this and they emptied the premises. Then, in an exhibition space in Beijing, they sorted its contents into the kinds of meticulous piles and groupings seen at MoMA: stacks of neatly folded shirts, clusters of bottles and cans, groupings of stuffed animals and so forth, arranged in and around a dismantled section of the original wood house. As a finishing touch, Mr. Song created a neon sign reading, 'Dad, don't worry, Mum and we are fine,' and hung it over the installation."

when i walked back to my car, after seeing some dance piece i did not understand, i heard classical music coming from the other side of the bridge.
it turned out to be a free public concert, organised by clärchens ballhaus - one of the few places in berlin where generations and people from all sorts of backgrounds really mingle. one of my favourite places.
half way throught the concert the orchestra had to take a little break to tune their instruments again. because of the cold.
